I was using a medium/fast.

I also use a medium/fast casting rod for light lures. Reels are important too. I have noticed a difference between the Curado 71 and other reels that I own. Shimano bills the reel as being good at throwing light lures. It does this well for me. It is pricey though. I am a fan of Lew’s too, and a comparably priced Lew’s reel may be just as good as a Shimano.

I'm partial. I replaced a Lew's and a Revo
